Background
Sakai LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Kansai, Japan.[3]
Kansai Electric Power Company’s second LNG receiving terminal began operations in 2006. The Sakai LNG Terminal has three 140,000 cubic meter storage tanks located on the smallest footprint for an LNG terminal in the world. Its proximity to an urban area prompted detailed risk assessment studies during planning, which was shared with authorities and local residents and incorporated into the final terminal design. The terminal supplies fuel gas for power generation and nearby industrial use, ships LNG by lorry, and supplies LNG for an adjacent liquid hydrogen production plant. The terminal can also load large class LNG tankers which was done only once in May of 2008.[4][5]
